Live Edge Table

This table is part of my upcoming show - GUERILLA BY DESIGN - Aug. 10
- 12, 2012 - for more information see here -

This low table is made of Spalted Dutch Elm wood, with three
chunky steel legs. It is intended to be a dining table for asain-style
seating, and for the show will be shown with zabuton - traditional
Japanese floor-seating cushions. However, it is the height of a low
coffee table, and could function as such.

Below are some process shots of the piece being roughed out, and
the cracks are being filled with a two-part epoxy dyed black. To see the
final piece... COME TO THE SHOW!!!

The IDEA

What would happen if a group of furniture designers invaded your residential or commercial space and replaced all your belongings with furniture designed specifically for your site? Guerilla By Design is an ambush style furniture exhibition trying to answer that question.

The MISSION

Take furniture design out of the gallery and put it into the context of a living public space making it less intimidating, and accessible to everyone.

The GOAL

To highlight the rich design culture present in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and prove great design doesn’t just happen in London, New York, and Milan.
